Accommodation In Selous Game Reserve
Sorted A-Z by name

Within Africa's largest protected reserve, accommodation in Selous ranges from basic camp sites and fly-camping to upmarket lodges. Many of the camps may close during the wet season, as roads can become impassable. During the dry season, this is a prime game-viewing reserve, with an abundance of animals gathering around the water sources.

Perched up on the banks of the beautiful Rufiji River, this tented camp with its main lodge offer spectacular views across the hippo-filled river. Situated in the Selous Game Reserve, visitors are treated to not only game drives, but boating safaris, safari walks and fly-camping, too. This is truly wild, untamed Africa, in an area rich with game.

Booking accommodation in Selous Game Reserve

Selous Game Reserve is renowned for its huge numbers of game, especially during the dry season. Outside of the dry season, game is still found in some areas and the birdlife during the lush wetter seasons is breath-taking. There are a number of places to stay in the reserve, many of them situated on the river, or near waterholes to maximise game-spotting. Levels of luxury range from basic camping to luxurious.

One of Selous's biggest attractions is fly-camping: temporary (and relatively basic) camps set up in the bush, allowing you to experience the adventure of authentic African safari camping!
